The latest Muslim Martin Luther, taking up the tattered crown from the cynical, deceptive Tariq Ramadan, is Egypt’s General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who has called for a reformation within Islam. Such a reformation is certainly urgently needed, and even in calling for it, Sisi has gone much farther than the Muslim Brotherhood scion Ramadan ever […]

This takes chutzpah. Does the NCCM have ties to Hamas or not? The superb Canadian site Point de Bascule laid it all out last week. A sampling: In order to understand the context of the PMO’s remarks, it is helpful to go back to the origins of CAIR-CAN. CAIR-CAN was established as a branch of […]

Malala insists that what the Taliban do transgresses against the true teachings of Islam; yet those who adhere to what she regards as those true teachings do not have sufficient numbers or power to protect an event that was to be held in her honor at Peshawar University. Those whom she regards as Misunderstanders of […]

What fun this will be! I look forward to visiting the Apes and Pigs Pavilion, where Allah transforms disobedient Jews into those despised animals: “And well you know there were those among you [Jews] that transgressed the Sabbath, and We said to them, ‘Be you apes, miserably slinking!’” (Qur’an 2:65). “Say: ‘People of the Book, […]

Authorities in Britain, the U.S. and elsewhere, and now in Australia, are concerned about Islamic jihadists returning from Syria and continuing to wage jihad at home. Australian authorities are calling upon Muslim communities to tell their people that “by fighting overseas they are committing a crime” — meanwhile, these same Muslim communities are funding the […]

The neologism “Islamophobia” is designed to intimidate people into thinking there is something wrong with opposing jihad and Islamic supremacism. If Rouhani really wants to do his bit to end “Islamophobia,” in the sense of suspicion of Islam, he could repudiate the genocidal rhetoric of many Iranian officials, including his predecessor Ahmadinejad, regarding Israel. But […]

On this episode of my ABN Jihad Watch program, Nonie Darwish and I have a fascinating discussion about why lack of trust is epidemic in the Islamic world today, and spreading in the West.

Yesterday I posted here about how the Norwegian mass murder Anders Breivik now claims that he was opposed to the counter-jihad movement all along and identified with it so that his mass murders would be used to discredit it. Here is the full text of his communique, first as he issued it and then as […]

Open Doors USA recently released its widely cited 2014 World Watch List—a report that highlights and ranks the 50 worst nations around the globe persecuting Christians. The one glaring fact that emerges from this report is that the overwhelming majority of Christian persecution around the world today is being committed at the hands of Muslims of all […]

When Pamela Geller devised the ad above and we tried to run it in Seattle (in response to bogus “Palestinian” ads claiming that “Palestinians” don’t have equal rights in Israel), Seattle transit balked, saying that the statement wasn’t true. We then provided proof from statements by Mahmoud Abbas and other “Palestinians,” and the ads ran […]

U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, was recently interviewed about Syria.  While many of his assertions can be debated, one especially requires a response. Throughout the interview, he repeatedly insisted that, if Bashar Assad would only leave power, everything would go well — especially for all of Syria’s minorities. In his words: “I believe that a peace […]

Many of the alleged telephone recordings between ousted Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi and Muhammad Zawahiri, al-Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri’s brother, are becoming available on Egyptian media, and will likely be part of Morsi’s February 16 trial, dealing with his alleged conspiracies with variously foreign jihadi organizations. One call is especially telling regarding al-Qaeda’s enmity for […]

[NRO via RaymondIbrahim.com] Prominent indicators confirm that the U.S. is the chief facilitator of the persecution of Christians around the world today. According to the recently released 2014 World Watch List, which ranks the 50 nations where Christians are most persecuted, Syria is the third worst nation in the world in which to be Christian, Iraq […]
